Former Fiorentina defender Daniele Carnasciali is not yet sure if the Nerazzurri have shown that their level has dropped off this season.

Speaking to Italian news outlet Calciomercato.com, the former defender expressed uncertainty as to the Nerazzurri’s true level at this early stage of the season.

Inter won the Scudetto last season in impressive style, finishing twelve points clear of their nearest rivals in the table AC Milan to leave little doubt as to whether they were the strongest team in Serie A over the season.

Over the summer, however, upheaval in the transfer market and the loss of important players and the replacement of Antonio Conte as head coach with Simone Inzaghi has led many to doubt whether the team can be as formidable as they were last season.

Carnasciali believes that more needs to be seen before the real level of this Nerazzurri side compared to last season’s can be determined.

“For the season there are several question marks,” he said. “Juve are no longer a steamroller, despite the departues I don’t know how much Inter have weakened, Milan has strengthened, Roma have Mourinho who can act as an extra player… or less.”

He went on, “Conte finished second in two years, made the final of the Europa League, and then won Scudetto – he did more than just play well.”

“I see a different enthusiasm now – losing Lukaku could have been harmful, instead now Lautaro will feel more empowered, Correa has been added who is young, and another big player like Dzeko. The defense has not changed, the midfield has added quality in the form of Calhanoglu,” he concluded.
